Experience Summary
I come from a family that values education, and I've always used that to fuel my thirst for learning. An avid writer and reader, I earned my Bachelor's in Journalism, which I've applied in the areas of Media, English, and the Arts. I've also used my skills in the performing arts as a public speaker, performer and presenter. I have tutored elementary, middle and high school students in essay writing, reading, social studies and the arts, also helping them to apply these skills to enrich their educational experience outside of the classroom.
Teaching Style
I enjoy teaching children and helping them to reach their academic goals because all young people have the capacity to learn. My style is patient and steadfast, with an encouraging yet focused pace. The idea is to help the student discover and come to the answer on their own. I like to help them illuminate their own ideas, and then help to guide and shape them. I don't believe that any child is limited by their background or socio-economic status; every child can live up to their full potential if they're intellectually stimulated, supported and given the proper environment. I love seeing the light in a student's eyes when they "get it." I'm dedicated to the educational excellence of every student I work with.
